The results of studies of ring quantum-cascade laser with a surface emission with radiation output through a textured layer formed in the layers of the top cladding of the waveguide by ultrahigh vacuum ion beam milling are presented. The far-field profile shows that the radiation is output through the windows with a textured layer in the range of angles of ~ 63–75 degrees to the normal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
